Anybody had the rear brakes stick on their 250R? I have rebuilt the caliper, it starts out OK but slowly sticks as you use them. Finally locking up the rear.

I have no experience with an 84 R but it sounds like a master cylinder problem to me. Or possibley try to loosen the rod that pushes on the master cylinder. I had a similar problem on a Mustang and I had to ajust the rod that connects the pedal to the master cylinder.

I had that problem on my 82r, It ended up that my brake lever was bent. I heated it up and bent it down a bit and the breaks never stuck again. You might have a different problem though.

Had a similar problem on a 200X. Make sure you have all the air out of the brake line. A small air bubble will kill you. When it heats up from use the air bubble expands causing pressure on the brakes. This may not be your problem, but it is something to check.
